Distribution and dividend policy
The "UniCredit Unlimited" plan set out our ambition to continue creating shareholder value as a priority, through the improvement of our profitability and upgraded metrics on a per-share basis.
The distribution is envisaged through a mix of cash dividend and share buyback (subject to supervisory and shareholder approval).
For 2025, the total ordinary distribution of 9.5bn is composed of a cash dividend component at 4.74bn, equal to a total DPS of 3.15€, and a share buyback1 component equal to 4.75bn.
From 2026, the ordinary distribution ambition2 is 80% of Net Profit3, o/w cash dividend payout at 50% of Net Profit3, and with potential excess capital4 use for additional share buyback to be evaluated yearly.
1. Subject to supervisory approval and to inorganic opportunities. The 2025 share buyback will commence after the Commerzbank offer period closes and depends on the final offer take up.
2. Subject to inorganic opportunities and delivery of financial ambitions.
3. Net profit means stated (or accounting) net profit adjusted for impacts from DTAs from tax loss carry forward sustinability test (only for the Group).
4. Versus target CET1r 12.5-13%. Subject to inorganic opportunities and delivery of financial ambitions.
